h1. Karaf Overview
Apache Karaf is a small OSGi based runtime which provides a lightweight
container onto which various components and applications can be deployed.
+* Uses either Apache Felix or Eclipse Equinox as OSGi framework and extends
these with many features that make it a fully featured server
+* Can be scaled from a very lightweight small container to a fully featured
enterprise Server
-Here is a short list of features supported by the Karaf:
-
-* *Hot deployment*: Karaf supports hot deployment of OSGi bundles by
monitoring jar files inside the {{\[home\]/deploy}} directory. Each time a jar
is copied in this folder, it will be installed inside the runtime. You can
then update or delete it and changes will be handled automatically. In
addition, Karaf also supports exploded bundles and custom deployers (blueprint
and Spring ones are included by default).
-* *Dynamic configuration*: Services are usually configured through the
ConfigurationAdmin OSGi service. Such configuration can be defined in Karaf
using property files inside the {{\[home\]/etc}} directory. These
configurations are monitored and changes on the properties files will be
propagated to the services.
-* *Logging System*: using a centralized logging back end supported by Log4J,
Karaf supports a number of different APIs (JDK 1.4, JCL, SLF4J, Avalon, Tomcat,
OSGi)
-* *Provisioning*: Provisioning of libraries or applications can be done
through a number of different ways, by which they will be downloaded locally,
installed and started.
-* *Native OS integration*: Karaf can be integrated into your own Operating
System as a service so that the lifecycle will be bound to your Operating
System.
-* *Extensible Shell console*: Karaf features a nice text console where you can
manage the services, install new applications or libraries and manage their
state. This shell is easily extensible by deploying new commands dynamically
along with new features or applications.
-* *Remote access*: use any SSH client to connect to Karaf and issue commands
in the console
-* *Security framework* based on JAAS
-* *Managing instances*: Karaf provides simple commands for managing multiple
instances. You can easily create, delete, start and stop instances of Karaf
through the console.
-* Supports the latest OSGi 4.3 containers: Apache Felix Framework 4.0 and
Eclipse Equinox 3.7
